...uncomfortable and not enjoying myself. The one employee had mysteriously disappeared after the phone rang, and there I was, all alone in the store with this weird man who informed the employee (when he returned) that he was my boyfriend and that I was buying him ice cream. He repeated it. The employee looked at me and then at the security guard. Meanwhile I was furiously showing my change into my wallet, fumbling because I was so agitated.

While the entrees approached magnificence, desserts held their own. Hot chocolate soup may sound like a childhood attempt to find the right ratio between fudge sauce and ice cream in a sundae. But the dish was highly sophisticated, made from velvety, warm, bittersweet chocolate swirled with a touch of cream and punctuated by croutons of cinnamon pound cake.

...enough to satisfy that hyperactive sweet tooth, or if the need for a tasty beverage arises, Billings & Stover also features a soda fountain complete with banana splits ($4.59) and root beer floats ($2.45). A truly New England establishment, Billings & Stover makes the distinction between a frappe (with ice cream) and a shake (without ice cream), a detail which just adds to the charm...
